Subject: "perf ftrace" segfault because ->cpus!=NULL but ->all_cpus==NULL

I was clumsily trying to use "perf ftrace" from git master (I might
very well be using it wrong), and it's falling over with a NULL deref.
I don't really understand the perf code, but it looks to me like it
might be related to Andi Kleen's refactoring that introduced
evlist->all_cpus?

I think the problem is that evlist_close() assumes that ->cpus!=NULL
implies ->all_cpus!=NULL, but perf_evlist__propagate_maps() doesn't
set ->all_cpus if the evlist is empty.

Here's the crash I encountered:

root@vm:~# /linux-llvm/tools/perf/perf ftrace -a -T kmem_cache_alloc
failed to reset ftrace
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
